It was nice to meet Louise and Stephen again, they booked us for their Wedding Photography two years ago! We met Emily, their daughter, for the first time and she happily played up to the camera! With the weather not playing ball and allowing us to go outside, we took a few pictures inside. Louise and Stephen are getting married at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, soon.

Wedding Photography Fennes for Natalie & Matthew
Wedding Photography Fennes for Natalie and Matthew – It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Fennes, Bocking, for the Wedding of Natalie and Matthew. Preparations were going well with the girls and all things were running smoothly. The Fennes Estate looked superb and when Matthew and his Groomsmen arrived we took advantage of the setting for their pictures. Once the girls were ready, we took a few portraits before it was time for the Civil Ceremony.
Natalie and Matthew chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion, which as usual looked lovely. Afterwards, everybody made their way outside at the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception. After the requested family group pictures were taken, the Guests were left to enjoy the Drinks Reception for a few minutes in the warm sunshine, while we took Natalie and Matthew for their pictures. 
Using the remaining bluebells for some of their together pictures worked very well before they returned to join the guests. 
With a few fun Bridal Party pictures done, it was then time for the Receiving Line and the Wedding Breakfast. After the speeches there was enough time before the Evening Reception for us to take some images of Natalie and Matthew in the Gold Room and by the Bridal Cottage. With their Evening Guests arriving we took a few informal pictures of them before and after the First Dance. We finished our coverage of Natalie and Matthew’s Wedding with a sunset picture and one under the illuminated pergola.

Wedding Photography Friern Manor, Dunton, for Laura & David
Before we could do the Wedding Photography at Friern Manor, our first port of call on the morning of Laura and David’s Wedding was arriving at Laura’s Parents’ house. Following the trail of excitement led us us up two flights of stairs to the room where Laura was getting ready. A lovely room, with the added natural light from the skylight and a view to the church. That said, with Laura, her Bridesmaids, her Mum, Make-up Artists, David from Rideout and ourselves, it was a touch busy and tight at times!
After capturing the getting ready pictures the girls put on their dresses and assisted Laura with hers. Laura’s Bridal portraits and family pictures were taken downstairs and we just had enough time to take a few pictures outside with the Bridesmaids and the car. St Andrew’s Church, Hornchurch was where Laura and David were to be married and David and his Groomsmen arrived shortly after us. With a few pictures of all of them taken, we left them to greet the Wedding Guests whilst we took some candid pictures. Not long after, Laura arrived and made her entrance into the Church.
After the service we took a few group pictures before taking Laura and David for a very quick walk around the back of the Church for a couple of pictures with the cherry blossom and lilac trees, which provided the backdrop. As Laura and David walked down the path from the church they were showered in confetti and a little while later left for the Reception. 
So far we had escaped the showers but not taking chances as soon as the guests had arrived at Friern Manor we got on with the remaining pictures so Laura and David still had time to greet their Guests during the Drinks Reception.
It was soon time for the Wedding Breakfast and the Speeches. Unfortunately, during the Speeches, the heavens opened, a couple of evening pictures we had planned to do after were scuppered. Being determined to get something though, we found a dry area outside for a couple of evening pictures. Then Laura and David cut their Wedding cake before their First Dance. A nice rewarding day!

Wedding Photography Fennes, Essex for Debbie & Dave
Wedding Photography Fennes, Essex – The Fennes Estate was the chosen Venue for Debbie and Dave’s Civil Ceremony Wedding. We arrived at Fennes to find Debbie and the girls getting ready with the preparations well underway. We captured the moments as they were happening in the house, as well as watching for Dave and some of the Guests to arrive in a 1950’s bus! When Dave arrived, the bus made for a nice feature at the front of Fennes, for his pictures and his Groomsmen. Meanwhile Debbie was almost dressed and it wasn’t long before her Bridal portraits were taken. Debbie’s sons were going to escort her down the aisle, so once she was ready the boys saw her before they all came downstairs.
The Civil Ceremony was held in the Pavilion and after Debbie and Dave exchanged their vows, and formalities were finished, Debbie and Dave left the Pavilion and made their way to the front of Fennes.
Being such a lovely day everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside in the brilliant sunshine. A short time later we took Debbie and Dave for stroll around the grounds for their pictures. As always with the Fennes Estate it was blessed with ample opportunities for pictures so we took a variety of shots before returning to the Drinks Reception.
Some requested family group pictures followed shortly with the Bridal Party pictures. The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches were held in the Pavilion. In the time after, before the start of the evening celebrations we took a couple shots outside. Debbie and Dave held their Evening Reception in the Marquee where they were joined by their Evening Guests. The Evening’s entertainment was provided by a Caricaturist and a Singer. The cutting of the Wedding Cake preceded the First Dance and shortly afterwards it was time for us to leave.
